Papa Cristo's began in Los Angeles in 1948 as C & K Importing, bringing produce from Greece to local tables. In 1968, the family added a Greek restaurant, growing a neighborhood business into a market, taverna, and catering service. This polo honors the three-generation story and the Byzantine-Latino Quarter gathering place across from Saint Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church. A thoughtful choice for fans of Los Angeles dining history and family-run restaurants, it keeps a memorable chapter of the city's food culture close.
Papa Cristo's began in October 1948 in Los Angeles, California, as C & K Importing, an import and export business founded by Greek immigrant Sam Chrys to bring produce from Greece. In 1968, his son Chrys continued the business and opened a Greek restaurant alongside the importing operation. He traveled through many parts of Greece to learn more about Greek food and its regional specialties. The restaurant later became a taverna, which opened in the 1990s, serving food made with ingredients and products brought from Greece through the family business. In 1990, the restaurant added catering for Greater Los Angeles and Orange County. In 2010, Chrys Chrys's youngest daughter, Annie, joined management, marking the third generation of the family to run the business. The restaurant and market operated in Los Angeles's Byzantine-Latino Quarter, across from Saint Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church. The business received local recognition, including a 2011 Zagat award for Best Greek Restaurant in Los Angeles. Papa Cristo's permanently closed on May 4, 2025, after 77 years in business; the article attributes the closure to high rent.
